The Alsabah (a pro-Iraqi government newspaper) published this news on May 15, 2010:

The higher ministerial committee that supervises the implementation of the Civil Provisional Authority Decree No. 3 (Paul Bremer, 2004), has decided that unionists must obtain prior approval from the government should they intend to travel or participate in any delegation or activity abroad.

The decision was made April 25, 2010, by a high committee headed by Thamir Jaffer of the State Ministry of Civil Society Affairs along with representatives of the ministries of Interior, Finance, Justice, National Security, National Assembly Affairs, the Office of the NGOs, the Supreme National Commission for Justice and Accountability and the Iraqi Central Bank, according to Fariq Abdualrahman, spokesperson for the Civil Society Affairs Ministry.

The committee also decided that names of the preparatory committee of the General Federation of Workers Councils and Unions will be further checked by the committee before the committee is approved and allowed to form a federation.
